Due to our philosophy of providing a state of the art stock system for excellent older barrelled actions, we could not ignore the time proven Mosin-Nagant.
The Mosin Nagant, firing the robust 7.62x54R cartridge, due to the 31-1/2" barrel and phenomenal ballistics characteristics of the cartridge provide an excellent long range rifle well suited for the CBRPS. The stock design utilized to accommodate the long action is reminiscent of anti-tank rifles of WWII and was required to provide the premium length of pull for the trigger hand while nesting the bolt action safely above the shoulder. The overall length is 40" and fits well in a 42" tactical bag. The rifle can be balanced easily with one hand with the CBRPS.
Due to the significant recoil of the 7.62x54R cartridge, our aluminum trunnion is solid, eliminating the standard thumb safety and utilizing our own "drop-safety" system. In the event the rifle is dropped, the actuator rod is barred from engagement by a spring loaded trigger bar. We strongly suggest firing using military posture (elbow perpendicular to the torso so the deltoid muscle engages the butt, not just the shoulder bone) to mollify the recoil.
And for those who perhaps want to do what the Russian Military did in 1938, that is cut 10" inches off the long tapered barrel to produce the carbine version with a 20" barrel, the surprising mid-range accuracy they experienced could be conceivably due to the reduced barrel whip due to relational mass differentials.
